These students used art-specific vocabulary they learned over the course of the year to discuss artistic themes of their choice, then engaged with the class, taking\u00a0any questions about their topics and encouraging their classmates to share their thoughts on\u00a0the pieces presented. Presentation topics were diverse and reflected the broad range of artists\u00a0and artistic movements the class covered. One student talked about socialist realism, which\u00a0prompted discourse on the idea of socialist realist paintings and the range of styles they\u00a0included. Another presented on Marc Chagal and noted how his life influenced his artwork. Suprematism and Constructivism were also discussed in detail by another student, who\u00a0emphasized their similarities, differences, and artists that created pieces which overlapped. The\u00a0next student presented on the wanderers versus the academics and the various artwork that\u00a0came from these two groups, and the last discussed futurism and what this movement entailed.\u00a0After each presentation, the students asked questions and reflected on the paintings they had seen.<\/p>\n<p>4th year Russian and Mathematics double major Lauren Evans said of the course:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProfessor Duzs\u2019 art course was intellectually engaging and challenging. Not only did we expand\u00a0our Russian vocabulary, but we expanded our knowledge of Russian culture and art. We worked\u00a0independently and in teams to express and share ideas with each other. We advanced our\u00a0language skill and our oral presentation skills. Along with this, we got the opportunity to present\u00a0and learn about Russian artists and movements we were interested in and wanted to learn more\u00a0about. This experience helped me grow and learn from mistakes, which were okay to make\u00a0learning a language!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Russian department congratulates its Russian senior seminar students on a fantastic semester of learning!<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2022\/12\/Image-2.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2022\/12\/Image-2-225x300.jpeg\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2022\/12\/Image-1.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2022\/12\/Image-1-225x300.jpeg\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2022\/12\/Image.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2022\/12\/Image-225x300.jpeg\" \/><\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2022\/12\/Image-5.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2022\/12\/Image-5-225x300.jpeg\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2022\/12\/Image-4.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2022\/12\/Image-4-225x300.jpeg\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2022\/12\/Image-3.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2022\/12\/Image-3-225x300.jpeg\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Dorian McElrone Last week as part of Professor Duzs\u2019 Advanced Seminar in Russian Culture and Literature, students in Russian [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4701,"featured_media":2387,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2384","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","first-post"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4701"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2384"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2387"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2384"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2384"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
